The Thought: Are we there yet? How many times in your life have you heard this one? Either through your children as you are driving or in your mind when you are struggling.

In life we tend to rely on navigational aids to find our way when we travel. If you get into an unfamiliar area, you can use your navigation system or you map to figure out where you are.

In this journey in life we don't have that luxury. No one has traveled the path you are on ever before. If you make too quick of a judgment call on something, you end up paying for it somehow. Without God's participation in decision making, your journey will have some difficult times.

Yesterday we traveled up to see my Dad at the VA. He has stage five Alzheimers. His journey is breaking new ground for our entire family as we are all learning how to deal with this disease from our side watching as he goes through all the different phases of this disease. There is much we encounter that we could never anticipate and we have to trust in the unconditional love of God to get us through. His divine guidance is for our highest good.

I am guilty of not always listening to that guidance. I am very strong willed...and I get it from both of my parents. I have to humble myself daily and ask for God's gentle hand in my heart to realign myself away from ME and back to HIM.

May your path today hold His divine guidance.
